Well obviously he should never have been employed in the first place but his sheer cowardice and poor tactics/team selections throughout the season when he had a fully fit squad is why we are where we are but I agree the blame ultimately lies with Randy

Call me petty, but I still hold MON responsible as key perpetrator.
You are correct but not the flavour of the month. The Poison Dwarf is the cause of all our problems.
Really?

Remind me again who gave him the keys to the cash register.

Reading those PF statements has just reminded me just how much he needs to stop making football decisions. Doesn't have a single clue, not a single one.

I'm sorry but was it Martin O'Neil who employed Alex Mcleish?

What nonsense.

He is certainly the cause of some of them. But ALL of them?

Yet based on your own logic, you were no doubt supporting him 100% when he was here.  That worked well didn't it.

It makes you wonder if there are actually some undertones to be read into Lerners recent intervention / pep talk.

Has he become so worried he feels McClit cant rally the troops alone? Has he lost faith in the managers ability to motivate? Could these be the actions of a concerned custodian?

 Otherwise, why get involved?

All I know is, a similar (although admittedly more hostile) thing happened with Steve Morgan at Wolves a couple of months back, and McCarthy was out of a job within weeks.

From what I understood, he is frequently seen at Bodymoor but normally says nothing. On this particular occasion I believe he was asked by McLeish to speak, so I would not read too much into it.

if we were to lose at home to Stoke it could make even Randy aware that he is not up to it.

I've gone for option 3 but only because there isn't a 4th option - he would go if we get relegated. He might even walk! Surely Lerner/Faulkner would have a get out of jail clause in his contract that meant staying in post was dependent on staying in the PL?
Can't see him walking and losing the chance of a juicy pay off.
Er MON walked and got a slice.

I guess McLeish thought that some big US style pep talk would have the desired effect. We’ll see this weekend.

How did he get the job? Did he sleep his way to the top or something? I've never warmed to him. Things just went to crap when he joined.

I just can't imagine quietly spoken Randy being the sort of person to give a 'Rally the troops for the final battle' type of speech.
Unless of course he has been taking tea cup throwing lessons from Fergie or even lessons in screaming obscenities in their faces for ten minutes from Barry Fry. :)

Paul Faulkner? Was it not May 2010 he became Chief Exec Dave?
